Issue with max documents on single instance

[Erie Data Systems <er...@gmail.com>]

Solr 8.0.0 (single server, single instance, single core) Centos 6x86_64
Error :  number of documents in the index cannot exceed 2147483519

Ive read about the max number of documents which means I need to go with
SolrCloud..
My question is this, can I implement a "clustered" environment on single
server so I can take advantage of the segmented data? I have a TON (96gb)
of RAM and plenty of SSD disk space available...

Thanks,

Yes.  One Solr instance can have many cores, and you can even run a 
distributed index without SolrCloud, with some extra effort.

You can even run SolrCloud on a single server.  The embedded ZK is 
probably acceptable for that kind of install.  It won't have any 
redundancy, of course.

The minimum fault-tolerant SolrCloud install is three servers -- because 
ZK requires three.  For the minimum, only two of those servers would 
need to run Solr.
